I am stirring my coffee when Tyra came in and he seems like he wanted to have a word war again.
“You almost make the commercial in a chaos because your unprofessional.”-she said.
“Really? I don’t tolerate people who disrespect my team. We are also working our assigned task and we don’t need a bossy person who acted that the world in under their foot. It’s better for them to know where they should stand. Just like you.”-I said. She is mad. I just give her a smirk and raise my cup.
“Do you really wanted to messed up with my young lady?”-she said. I just laugh a bit.
“Tyra, I am not just any little girl that you can scare and hide away. I will make sure that I won’t let you scare me.”-I said. I bite the cupcake that I took and leave her with a teasing smile. After taking a break, I started making draft about the report and presentation that I need to perform on the next board meeting. My husband entrusted me this. I already ask the help of the technology department to monitor my desktop. I don’t want to think about it but I just wanted to make sure that no one will try to erase my files again.
“I need you in my office.”-dad. I nodded and follow him. Did I do some mistakes?
“I want you to do this job. It will help you to learn more about the business society.”-he said. I look on the folder that he gave to me. It is about the rally that is happening by the leaders of workers union in Andrews warehouse.
“I’ll work about this starting tomorrow dad. I’ll review the files regarding this matter.”
“Good. We already took their side. I want you to investigate regarding the concerns of the workers about their salary and overworking issues from their superiors.”-he said.
“Don’t worry dad. You can count on me.”
“Before I forgot. Did Ethan told you that he will be gone for two days?”-he said. I give him a puzzled expression because I didn’t know.
“He didn’t tell me about it.”-I said.
“I see. He will be visiting the new building and branch of Andrews Food Enterprise in China. He will be gone for two days.”-he said.
“I see. I’ll handle this problem during those days that he’ll go for business trip. He will surely speak about that later. Join us for lunch dad.”
“You two should eat together. I will fetch your mom and eat lunch together.”-he said. I smiled.
“Okay. Drive safely.”-I said. He nodded. I leave his office and went to my husband’s office.
“Let’s eat lunch.”-I said. He nodded and took his coat on his swivel chair. He held my hand and smile.
Ethan Andrews
Sora suddenly called and wanted to talk to me. We are now in a coffee shop near to his detective agency. It looks like he is busy and his agency had a great start. It will be handy for women who have doubts about their husbands actions.
“Is there any problem, Sora?”
“I don’t know if I breach my contract with Amellie but I knew I did because I end up talking to you regarding this matter.”
“What is it? Is there anything wrong?”
“She told me to investigate about a certain person. His name is Jason Danes.”-he said. Him?
“What about him?’-I ask. He sigh and drinks his coffee. He looks at the people outside.
‘He is not a simple person. He has been once a threat because of a virus that he release in the internet must have been 15 years ago.”
“And? Sora, tell it to me straightly.”
“He is connected to Tyra Locke, a woman from El Parfum and they’re fiancee’s already. I just wanted to ask if lately your computers are being attacked?”
“Yes, it is. We suddenly experienced malfunction because of a certain virus. Is this connected to that?”-I ask. He nodded.
“That might do. Your wife let me investigate everything and I heard that Andrews Group are having a feud to D. L Capital and Jason Danes are working in that company as a head cyber engineer of that company. I called you because you need to be vigilant about that guy. I hope if you don’t mind I’ll make a suggestion.”-he said.
“Name it. I’ll listen to you.”
“My brother is a good technology engineer and our Technology and security company are being passed in his hands. I hope that you will consider in cooperating with his team. They can help yours to see if they entered abruptly.”-he said.
“Okay. No problem with me. I’m willing to do that.”
“Please don’t tell Amellie that I talk to you regarding this matter. I don’t want her to kill me.”
“Of course, no problem, Sora.”-I said.
While driving, I decided to stop on a riverside. I went out and lean my back on my car door.
“I can’t believe that everything is making sense. No matter what I do. I always get the chance to lose something and I hate that thought. Should I let them hurt my pride again? Wake up, Ethan. Everyone has been trying to protect you and save your face. Don’t let them suffer alone.
“I’m home.”-I shouted. Nanny Susan came to welcome me. She took my bag and coat.
“They’re eating their dinner. You should go and I’ll put this in your room.”-she said. I smiled and nodded. I went to the dining hall and join my family in dinner.
“You came home, we thought you have an important meeting today?”-mom.
“I have but it didn’t take long.”
“I see. Have a sit and join us.”-mom. I nodded and starts to eat. I let her get focused in making her draft for her manga. I went ti the library and starts to read some books. Until I made up my mind and call someone.
“Hello, I want you to do something for me. Lessons should be learn this time.”-I said.
When I went back in our room, I saw her in her desk. She’s already sleeping and her computer is on. I carried her up and lay her down the bed.
“Good night, Mrs. Andrews.”-I mumbled. I Went to her computer and when I saw that I can help her to where she stops, I continued and let her see and do a revision by tomorrow. After that, I lay down beside her and watch her snore a bit. Cute.
“Good morning.”-I said. She is checking her computer. She look back when she saw that I’m half naked and only towel wraps around my waist.
“Did you help me last night?”
“Yes. I knew how to draw. I’m an anime fan myself and I learn how to draw because of that. Anyway, we have an important meeting later before my business trip for two days.”
“Okay. I will just report to my professors and do some requirements for graduation and I’ll be in the office around 10 in the morning. Will that be okay?”
“Okay. I’ll drop you by at school.”-I said. She smiled and turn off her computer.
“Maybe you should apply as my assistant? You can also be a manga author if you wanted.”
“Nah, I’m fine helping you when you needed. Anyway, I’ll go an d change. I’ll see you on the table.”-I said. She nodded and left the room.
Things have changed. I made drastic and shocking decisions ever since that accident. But I guess, that is the biggest mistake that I will never changed. Let me be in this dream forever.
“I’ll see you at the office, later.”-I said. She nodded and went out. I open the car door and catch her up. People stare on us, she must be famous at school especially that she’s an A student.
“You forgot something.”-I said. She looks puzzled. I grab her hand and pulled her closer. Her eyes widened when I kissed her in front of people.
“Tss. You should’ve done that before you leave the car.”-I said. She blushing.
“Sorry.”-she said. I smiled and pet her.
“I’ll see you later.”-she said and wave her hand. I smiled and watch her as she went inside their campus. I drove out my car and went to the office. I called secretary Miller to prepare the papers that I need for the board meeting later.
Amellie Cruz
Today is the first board meeting that I’ll be attending. I will surely write down the things that I’ll learn in this meeting. When the elevator opens, I decided to go in my husband’s office instead on my desk. I put down my things.
“Here’s the paper that you need to read for the next 30 minutes. You will present that to everyone. This is not just any simple board meetings. This will help us to make sure that Andrew Group won’t be in danger because of business dispute to the other board members.”-he said.
“Yes Sir Ethan.”-I said. I started to read this paper. I will make sure that I won’t look like a naive woman in that meeting. Dad and my husband are there and I wanted them to feel proud to me. At the conference room, he held my hand and look at me. He kiss my forehead and give me those supportive eyes. I smiled, that is enough for me.
“Good morning ladies and gentlemen, let’s start the board meeting.”-secretary Miller.
“For the past five years, each companies of Andrew Group are soaring its sales in every states and nation branches around the globe. Each year it arouses its sales from 8 to 19%, as you can see on the presentation, each companies are doing great in the market and we meet the consumers in every status demands to our products. Our services are one of the top due to our considerations to the public’s needs and demands.”-secretary Miller.
I took a deep breath because I will be explaining next. When secretary Miller gives me a cue, I stood up and pulled up my sleeve up to my elbow.
“Good morning ladies and gentlemen, I’m Mrs. Amellie Andrews. Let’s continue. We will be launching six different products from each companies for the next 7 months. Our sales will depend on the needs of the public and adjust our marketing status due to the economic crisis to some countries.

“As for the cars, we will starts to launch a family type that will be in 3 months. We will make sure that the lowest position workers can afford to take a loan of this car. We need to adjust the safety precautions and make sure that our car will also be placed as the first or second car models with a great safety gadgets and features.”-I added.
“What is the plan regarding the launch of the new perfume of Andrew Chemicals and El Parfum?”
“Regarding that matter, we already at the finish of the collaboration and by three weeks, we will launch the product on the promised date. As for the other products they’re 89% ready for launch.”
